Contraceptive Diplomacy: Reproductive Politics and Imperial Ambitions in the United States and Japan Takeuchi-Demirci Aiko Paperback
A transpacific history of clashing imperial ambitions, Contraceptive Diplomacy turns to the history of the birth control movement in the United States and Japan to interpret the struggle for hegemony in the Pacific through the lens of transnational feminism. By the time of the Cold War, a transnational coalition for women's sexual liberation had been handed over to imperial machinations, enabling state-sponsored population control projects that effectively disempowered women and deprived them of reproductive freedom.In this book, Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci follows the relationship between two iconic birth control activists, As the birth control movement spread beyond national and racial borders, it shed its radical bearings and was pressed into the service of larger ideological debates around fertility rates and overpopulation, global competitiveness, and eugenics.
